Zoltan wants you...

...to join the SPAWN FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
I know there are plenty of you out there that come here every day. We need more teams to fill out the league.

This is FREE fun. No pressure. Just another chance for glory.

If you have never played fantasy football, now is your chance. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose.

The draft is set for August 29th. I will do something special for the first team that drafts a Detroit Lions player. Send your email address to spwanofmzone at gmail dot com and we will get an invite sent to you with the needed info.

is there a link we could access to see the league set up?

i'd be interested to see how the scoring works (is it based on TDs? or do yds/other milestones score you points, too?), how the draft would work (online? do you have to login live or can you preset draft conditions?), and how the league is set up (when do you have to have your roster set? how do you select reserves?) before i decided to whether or not to join.

i don't mean to be a pain in the ass w/ all the questions BUT some leagues (and related formats) are more fun than others and i wouldn't want to commit w/out a better understanding.

thanks.

I will let BAHAMMM answer that question.

I know I put a link on the initial post last week, but I don't think it works unless you are listed as an authorized player.

Hammm?

It's minus 1 point for missed fgs up to 29 yards and minus 2 pts for missed extra points. Idk why it has the 0 there.

The draft is a live draft but if you are not able to be there at the time of the draft what you do is rank players that you would want and I believe it automatically picks from your rankings if available. If not then it picks the highest ranked player (via their rankings) at each position as it moves down your depth chart.

Free agents are available I believe 1 day after they are released by someone. There is no cap on transactions if I remember correctly. Trades are approved by me (the Commish!) but I will put any skeptical trades to a league vote. Scoring begins week 1. Playoffs are 6 teams and weeks 15 16 and 17.

My fingers hurt.

BAH,
thanks for the information. it's very helpful. i know it's a pain to provide all this but understanding the scoring is key to understanding the draft.

for example, one year (a loong time ago), Marcus Allen was the Chief's "go to" guy in short yardage/goal line plays. he ended up the year w/ something like 14 TDs and a few hundred yards rushing. if your league gave points for yds rushed, Marcus was pretty marginal, but in leagues that only gave points for TDs? super star.

thanks again.

I've sent out like 7 invites but still we have 11 spots available.
If you asked for an invite and haven't gotten one yet let us know. If you don't know how to play FF thats no big deal as Yahoo is very user friendly and we will answer any questions.
Get involved!

Up to 4 teams now with GoBlueBob joining soon. Still 9 spots available. I'd like to at least get 10 teams total so we have some competition and can spread the players around some. Need to have an even number of teams though or the league won't start.
